Just got off the phone - he is continuing to improve, HR is down to 40, he finally laid down for a bit. he’s drinking and I’m not clear if he’s actually eating the mash but he must be - she said they are hoping he can go home tomorrow, they just want to make sure he’s doing good with eating first.
I asked if they had reported the reaction to the manufacturer yet and she said no. She also did not know offhand what vaccine/brand was used. I requested that she also ask about reimbursement when it is reported. She said she did not have experience reporting these kinds of things and was going to consult with their in house internal medicine vet if that’s ‘something the company they usually use does’. She also said I might have trouble arguing for reimbursement since he also had sedation and a dental that day.
Overall my confidence in the vet about this reporting/reimbursement situation isn’t high (definitely not as high as this vet bill is going to be…). Worst they can say is no, right?
